International Scientific Conference "TRANSBALTICA 2025: Transportation Science and Technology"
On September 18–19, the Faculty of Transport Engineering hosted the 16th international scientific conference "TRANSBALTICA 2025: Transportation Science and Technology," which brought together researchers from over 20 countries. Participants came from Mexico, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom, Greece, Hungary, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Poland, Latvia, Ukraine, Lithuania and other countries.
This year the partners of the conference were the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Lithuania, the Transport Innovation Association, Girteka Logistics, Shell, and the international publisher Springer Nature AG.
Due to the high number of presentations, which exceeded 100 this year, the conference programme was divided into two days. The first day featured a plenary session with three keynote speeches: Prof. Dr. Irina Yatskiv (Jackiva) on “Digital Skills for a Human-Centred Mobility Future”, Dr. Armando Carrillo Zanuy on “Towards FP10 - Academic Networks in European Rail Research” and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Viktor Skrickij on “Motion Control of Multi-Actuated Ground Vehicles” . Following the plenary, parallel sessions were held both on-site and online. In total, the conference included 12 sections covering the latest topics in transport engineering and logistics. Researchers shared insights on Transportation Science and Technology, Logistics and Transportation, Combustion in Engines, Fuels and Emissions, Vehicle Engineering and Dynamics, Railway and Road Transport, Safety and Infrastructure, Autonomous Vehicles and Systems, Maritime Transport and other related subjects. Also, there was a special section for Academic Consortium in Rail Industry.
The Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Dr. Olegas Prentkovskis, expressed his pride that VILNIUS TECH Faculty of Transport Engineering has become an international hub for transport research. “As every September, our internationally recognized TRANSBALTICA conference is growing in popularity among scientists across Europe and worldwide. This year, the number of scientific presentations almost doubled compared to last year. TRANSBALTICA is not only a platform for cutting-edge scientific findings but also an opportunity to build partnerships, strengthen international collaboration, and showcase Lithuania and our university as a center of innovation and transport science,” said Dean Prof. Dr. Olegas Prentkovskis.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mykola Karpenko, Chairman of the Scientific Committee, noted that this year the conference faced significant challenges due to the large volume of papers and their processing. After reviewing nearly 200 submitted scientific papers, 102 high-quality works were selected for presentation. “The most challenging task was ensuring that every paper could receive fair, thorough, and high-level peer review. To recognize exceptional contributions, this year we introduced the ‘Reviewer of the Year’ award for several researchers who provided the most reviews and exemplary feedback,” said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Karpenko. The awarded reviewers were: Prof. Dr. Aldona Jarašūnienė (VILNIUS TECH), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vidas Žuraulis (VILNIUS TECH), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gediminas Vaičiūnas (VILNIUS TECH), Dr. Algimantas Danilevičius (VILNIUS TECH), Paulius Kojis (VILNIUS TECH), Dr. Michał Stosiak (Wrocław University of Science and Technology), Dr. Anna Borucka (Military University of Technology), Dr. Jan Dižo (University of Žilina), and Dr. Željko Stević (University of East Sarajevo).
The best scientific papers from the conference will be published in the international volume Lecture Notes in Intelligent Transportation and Infrastructure, indexed in Clarivate Analytics (Web of Science: Conference Proceedings).
The selected papers of the conference will be published in the Lecture Notes in Intelligent Transportation and Infrastructure, which is indexed by Clarivate Analytics (Web of Science: Conference Proceedings).
After the scientific discussions, participants were invited to visit the Railway and Automobile Museums, network, and exchange experiences.
We thank all participants for their involvement!
